We determine a fundamental domain for the diagonal action of a finite Coxeter group $W$ on $V^{\oplus n}$, where $V$ is the reflection representation. This is used to give a stratification of $V^{\oplus n}$, which is respected by the group…
Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system and suppose that $w \in W$ is fully commutative (in the sense of Stembridge) and has a reduced expression beginning (respectively, ending) with $s \in S$. If there exists $t\in S$ such that $s$ and $t$ do not…
For any Coxeter group W, we define a filtration of H^*(W;ZW) by W-submodules and then compute the associated graded terms. More generally, if U is a CW complex on which W acts as a reflection group we compute the associated graded terms for…
Let $1\to (K,K_1)\to (G,N_G(K_1))\to(Q,Q_1)\to 1$ be a short exact sequence of pairs of finitely generated groups with $K$ strongly hyperbolic relative to proper subgroup $K_1$. Assuming that for all $g\in G$ there exists $k\in K$ such that…
A model for a finite group is a set of linear characters of subgroups that can be induced to obtain every irreducible character exactly once. A perfect model for a finite Coxeter group is a model in which the relevant subgroups are the…
We prove the existence of Cannon-Thurston maps for Kleinian groups corresponding to pared manifolds whose boundary is incompressible away from cusps. We also describe the structure of these maps in terms of ending laminations.
The G-function associated to the semi-simple Frobenius manifold C^n/W (where W is a Coxeter group or an extended affine Weyl group) is studied. The general form of the G function is given in terms of a logarithmic singularity over caustics…
This is an announcement of some of the results obtained as a part of the second author's Ph.D. thesis. In the first part, we prove that the fundamental group of an acylindrical complex of hyperbolic groups with finite edge groups is…
Let W be an infinite Coxeter group. We initiate the study of the set E of limit points of "normalized" positive roots (representing the directions of the roots) of W. We show that E is contained in the isotropic cone of the bilinear form B…
We introduce a technique of projection onto the Coxeter plane of an arbitrary higher dimensional lattice described by the affine Coxeter group. The Coxeter plane is determined by the simple roots of the Coxeter graph I2 (h) where h is the…
Let $G$ be a reductive group with Borel $B$ and Weyl group $W$. Then $B$-double cosets in $G$ are indexed by the Weyl group, say $O(w)$ for $w\in W$. Then we prove the minimal $B$-double coset in the convolution $O(w_1)*O(w_2)$ is…
We study global fixed points for actions of Coxeter groups on nonpositively curved singular spaces. In particular, we consider property FA_n, an analogue of Serre's property FA for actions on CAT(0) complexes. Property FA_n has implications…
Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system of type $A$, so that $W$ can be identified with the symmetric group $\mathrm{Sym}(n)$ for some positive integer $n$ and $S$ with the set of simple transpositions $\{\,(i,i+1)\mid 1\leqslant i\leqslant…
Artin groups are a natural generalization of braid groups and are well-understood in certain cases. Artin groups are closely related to Coxeter groups. There is a faithful representation of a Coxeter group $W$ as a linear reflection group…
In this article, we investigate the existence of joins in the weak order of an infinite Coxeter group W. We give a geometric characterization of the existence of a join for a subset X in W in terms of the inversion sets of its elements and…
We determine the epimorphisms $A \to W$ from the Artin group $A$ of type $\Gamma$ onto the Coxeter group $W$ of type $\Gamma$, in case $\Gamma$ is an irreducible Coxeter graph of spherical type, and we prove that the kernel of the standard…
Braid groups may be defined for every Coxeter diagram. Artin's braid group is of type A. Analogs of Temperley-Lieb, Hecke and Birman-Wenzl algebras exist for B-type. Our general hypothethis is that the braid group of B-type replaces Artin's…
We give an overview of the theory of Cannon-Thurston maps which forms one of the links between the complex analytic and hyperbolic geometric study of Kleinian groups. We also briefly sketch connections to hyperbolic subgroups of hyperbolic…
This is an expository paper. We prove the Cannon-Thurston property for bounded geometry surface groups with or without punctures. We prove three theorems, due to Cannon-Thurston, Minsky and Bowditch. The proofs are culled out of earlier…
When 1 -> H -> G -> Q -> 1 is a short exact sequence of three infinite, word-hyperbolic groups, Mahan Mitra (Mj) has shown that the inclusion map from H to G extends continuously to a map between the Gromov boundaries of H and G. This…
